A PAGE FROM HISTORY.
An Incident Whose Authenticity Can Not
Well Bc Disputed.

wen dc bfsputtus
During the reign of the Tyrant.
whose name is too familiar TO require
repetition or mention in these pages,
the Lion-Heart was so hard pressed by
his enemies that he was obliged to seek
refuge in cave (ad caro- absquatuidtRs
est. literally. to cave in. While medi-
tating upon ways and means one
morning he observed u spider (drdcdnt-
da domesticuS) mcnding his web.
Ninety-ninc times he succeeded. but the
one hundrcdth effort was n disastrous
failure. Throwing down his sword and
crying: MAKE way for liberty!' he
rushed upon the Austrian spears, and
as he did so second arrow fell from
beneath his vest "For what hid ST
thou that arrow meath thy vestP' ex-
claimed the Tyrant. "To hold II
down." replied Tell, for il was he, thus
running a little good history. but antici-'
pating by several centuries a well-worn
joke. Then, muiliing his face in his
mantle, he fell down nj the foot of
Pompey's statue. by Phidias, where he
was caught in the arms Of his faithful
daughter, who. with her rosy lips
sucked the poison from his wound. At
this moment the shout was heard on
the distant plain: They fly! they fy!"
"Who fy?" asked the dying hero.
"Hoss fly" replied cavalry sergeant.
"Come to my arms, my noble boy!"
exclaimed his father; II would rather
of lost all the trees in the orchard than
to of had you told lie." This incl
lent has been related in many lqn-
yuages; hence there can be no doubt OF
is authenticity. -Burtlstte, IN brooklyn

TWO DAYS.

Somewhere in that strange land We can the
Past
Where each OF us has laid his treasures bv.
My heart has set one day whose light shall last
When all youths golden years forgotten lie
Ever across my life 1t shines afar.
As through q storm-tossed sky one glorious star.
Into the perfect calm OF Paradise:
One day when life, set free from doubts and
fears,
Lay love-lit under shining summer skies.
When my hearts mad hoping dared confess.
And found Heaven in my lady's ssYes.''
The clouds roll back; the gentle wind that signs
Low through the branches has her voice s
tone;
Her eyes look in sweet answer to my eyes;
Once more feel her hand within nv own.
Let fortune spoil my treasures as she will.
That one bright memory is with me stir
Somewhere within that unknown shadowy land
We call the Future waiteth me day
When shall hold again my lady's hand,
And listen low to hear what she will say
All, Love that day must dawn for us at last
When all our weary waiting shall be past.

A YOUNG BUTCHERS LUCK.
He wins SIS, 900 in the Louisiana State
Lottery.

sI want to see reporter" said an
unusually happy-looking individual as
he entered the Chronicle building. On
being introduced TO one of the staff he
commenced by saying that his name was
A. j. Treits. and tlat he lived in Butch
ertown. AS there was a very large fire
recently in that part of the city there
was apparently no great reason for such
unusual Joy as that manifested by Mr..
Trefts. He, however, was very anxious
to communicate the news of godsend
which had fallen to him soon after he
had been burnt out.
ssI am the fellow. / won it. just
bought one ticket and got SIS, 900.
That's luck, isn't it?', said the jovial
Trefts.
Then it began to dawn upon the re-
porter that he was really in the presence
of another one OF the lucky holders OF
a winning number of a Louisiana lot
tery prize. Mr.. Trefts had come down
of his own free will to tell of his lucky
venture.
II could hardly believe my eyes
when l read that number" said he,
/" 52,749. l looked at my ticket and
turned it over and laid it down beside
the paper and compared it, and then /
began to think l was the luckiest man
/ ever met Just think, one ticket and
all that money for 81 p
What are you going TO do now,
Mr.. Trefts ?''' asked the interviewer.
"I am going to extend my business
right away, for that fire nearly did for
me. / didn't believe much in the
Louisiana Lottery before, and l just
thought to myself when | bought the
ticket, Well, I've lost enough already,
this dollar will never be missed and
now you may be sure l never stop
thinking how glad l was / bought it,
and so l thought l would drop in and
tell you all about it, San Francisco

What spectacle is more disgusting than that
of man or woman with a skin disease which
shows itself in pinlples and blotches on hands,
arms, face and neck? 1t is simple impure
blood. See what BRANDRETHs PILLS did foI
a chronic case:
For four years I was in the Mounted In.
fantry in the u. S. Army, residing during
that time principally In Texas. Almest all OF
that time l had chronic skin disease,
characterized by an eruption over the entire
surface of my legs and thighs, arms and chest.
The doctors termed it eczema. / had given
up all hopes of ever being cured, when BRAND
RETH's PILLS were recommended to me. ]
concluded to try them, and did so, and | have

months, and, by that time, was completely
cured and have never had any trouble since.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

The beginning of disease is slight debility
or disorder of some of the vital organs, the
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually
There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver il
troublesome, the skin grows tawney and un-
healthy locking, there are pains in the right
side or through the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an utter prestration of the
physical energies, perhaps fatal issue. But
if the difficulty, is met in time with Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, which is always effective as
remedy, and it should be resorted to at an earl,
stage, there will be no reason to apprehend
those injurious subsequent effects upon the
system often entailed by entirely cured dis
eases. Far setter is it, also, to employ this safe
remedial agent in fever and ague, and other
malarial complaints, than quinine, and other
potent drugs, which, even when they do prove
effectual for a time, ruin the stomach and i'm.
pair the general health.

Two Ingenious instruments.

The melograph and melotrope are two
little instruments invented by an in
genious carpenter named Jules Charpen-
tier, which, it is claimed, viii enable a
composer to record permanently by cleo
tricity music as it is played on the piano
forte. This is great boon for players
who compose with their fingers and viii
enable them to de,uge the public with
trashy improvisations. However, it has
am art side as well, since it will enable
composers of ability to escape the drudg-
ery of writing. The melograph records
the music upon a sheet of paper, and this
sheet passed through the melotrope pro-
duces each note and expression. This
was demonstrated most successfully by
Saint -Saens. Boston Transcript.
